Free The Women of Duck Commander by Kay Robertson, Jessica Robertson

good qualities to pass on to their grandchildren, and we look forward to seeing how these qualities manifest in their lives in the future.
    Lisa: G REAT R ELATIONSHIPS
    My children are grown, but my daughters have a great relationship with Miss Kay and Phil. In fact, Miss Kay is both of my girls’ bestfriend. Both Anna and Alex have kind, loving, gentle hearts, and I know they learned these qualities from Miss Kay. I was not always the mother I needed to be for my children, but Miss Kay took up the slack, and they are awesome women today because of her.
    Both girls have spent a lot of time with Miss Kay and Phil over the years. Anna started working for Miss Kay as a teenager, and although she now works full-time at Duck Commander, she also does special projects for Miss Kay and travels with her as much as possible. When asked about her relationship with Kay, Anna says, “I have been close to Mamaw Kay all my life, but even more so since I started working for her when I was fourteen or fifteen. Some people have grandmas they cannot open up to, but I can talk about everything with Mamaw Kay. I always turn to her when I need someone to talk to, and she gives really good advice. She knows about so many things because she has been there; she has lived it. And I can trust her. If I need to talk to her about something I do not want her to share, she will not tell it.
    “Plus, Mamaw Kay is great when it comes to fashion. She knows what’s in style and stays up on trends, and I like that about her. But most of all, I have noticed in my life that some grandparents are quick to say ‘I love you,’ but they do not always do much to show it. With Mamaw Kay, I have always felt loved, and I know I always will. Every time we get together, when it’s time to go, we give each other a big hug and say, ‘I love you!’ I know Mamaw Kay really means those words when she says them to me, and I really mean them when I say them to her.”
    Phil has always had a special place for my girls in his heart, but when they were young, he did not always know how to show it. Asthe years have mellowed him, he now has a great, loving relationship with my granddaughters. They adore Papaw Phil. My daughters are old enough to understand and appreciate all of Phil and Miss Kay’s good qualities. I believe they will inherit all of those attitudes and characteristics (they already demonstrate a lot of them), and I pray they will pass them down to their own children.
    Missy: A L OT TO L EARN
    We all have so much to learn from Miss Kay and Phil. My prayer and hope is that my children have learned the valuable life lessons they have to share. I hope my children have learned from Phil and Miss Kay to look at everyone they meet with a nonjudgmental heart. I hope they have learned and will continue to learn that judgment belongs to God and we are here only to guide people to Him. I hope they have learned to laugh at the little things and the big things and to know that God has given them this life as a gift.
    I hope my kids have learned a strong work ethic by watching their papaw Phil work on the land and in the yard cleaning fish, deer, and ducks. I hope they learn to be generous in feeding family, friends, and even strangers a good, home-cooked meal and that having an open-door policy is much more fulfilling than a closed, locked door with a security system. Most of all, I hope they have watched their grandparents stay real in an unreal world, learned that they can turn to God for all of their problems,and come to understand that they can love people enough to share that same God with everyone they meet.
    Korie: S TRENGTH , L OVE, AND C OMPASSION
    The three traits I have tried to instill in my children since they were born are strength, love, and compassion. Both Phil and Miss Kay exemplify these traits, even though they express them in different ways. I hope my children will continue to develop strength based on a deep knowledge of whose they are (God’s) and
